22re to T-18 adapter (pics)
I already posted this in general tech, but I guess most people give a crap about the 22re so I posted it here too.
This is part of my Willys project. I had a complete Toyota drivetrain, but it was too long for the short wheel base. I found a great deal on a T-18, and I just had to use it.
The tranny has T-98 gears and input shaft. That is why I have a 1 3/8" input shaft. Since Toyota's have removeable bellhousings, it was not too hard to fab up a plate to adapt the bellhousing to the tranny using 1/2" plate.
The input shaft splines were cut back 3/16", and the pilot stub was machined to fit the 22re's pilot bearing. I bought a throwout bearing to fit the input shaft. It was quite a bit bigger than the original Toyota throwout bearing so the clutch fork was modified to fit.
The clutch disk is a Toyota disc, but required machining and a center hub to match the input shaft. I bought a clutch disc for 1 3/8" shaft, and cut the center hub out on a lathe. The same was done with the Toyota center hub, but the center was machined to fit the 1 3/8" hub. The new hub was TIG welded to the Toyota center.
